Re: Firewire/USB 2.0 Adaptors for M-Audio Firewire Solo

[Daryl Shawn <highhorse@mhorse.com>]

Yeah, I've got a T60 dual core also, and it was disappointing not to 
have firewire, or Bluetooth, or a card reader, OR a separate sound card. 
In truth, I don't really use any of that stuff currently (except the 
sound card I suppose), but I wanted to have the options in the future 
(damn thing better last me a long time). Otherwise, it's terrific.

I think someone posted a while ago about Thinkpads and their thumbstick, 
but the new ones have a touchpad as well. If you're looking, keep your 
eye open for sales, especially on the Lenovo site, I bought one during a 
two-week period when they offered a $250 rebate.
